Well, it's not a huge deal but I've been so frustrated lately and I'm wondering if anyone else has felt like this and how you handle it.
So Eli's got a cold again. AGAIN. It's like he's ALWAYS sick!! It's just a cold, but those of you with little ones or those that have had little ones I'm sure know that a cold to a baby or even a little kid is totally different than a cold to an adult and I think people are so inconsiderate about that. They cry, they're miserable, they wont go to sleep at night, they wake up, some kids don't eat right (mine), you can't even really give them medicine for the most part, everything is just harder on them (and their parents).
My problem is that the last several times Eli has gotten sick, it was because someone was hanging out with him that didn't tell me they were sick and just didn't care. I HATE THAT. I mean I could just cuss someone out for doing that, you know? I mean my mom has five other kids than me, some still little, and if I even think I have a cold when she invites me over I tell her first and I completely respect it if she suggests we hang out a different time. Even people that don't have kids, I tell them. It's only right! Why would hang around someone without telling them at least that you're sick first? Some people can't afford to get sick for whatever reason. But back to getting babies and kids sick.
People are continually asking to see Eli or just coming over for a visit or whatever, and either they are sick and kissing all over him like it doesn't matter, or they bring over their sick little ones to play with Eli. And bam! Not barely any time after that is Eli sick. I HATE IT. It's like he's always sick unless I don't see anybody. Why can't people tell me they're sick and protect my baby from getting it? Why doesn't it matter to them? I would feel awful for getting a baby sick. Awful. I've been getting really mean to people lately because of it, cause it's just never ending.
Why are people so inconsiderate? Do you guys hate that too? Have you gone through anything similar? What do you do about that? How do you deal with it? I'm having a hard time dealing with people's thoughtlessnes (sp??). It's so annoying and I can't stand seeing my baby sick all the time.
So thanks for listening to me rant. I had to rant.
